About the book >.>.> The essays and art in The Object of Labor: Art, Cloth, and Cultural Production explore the personal, political, social, and economic meaning of work through the lens of art and textile production. The ubiquity of cloth in everyday life, the historically resonant relationship of textile and cloth to labor, and the tumultuous drive of globalization make the issues raised by this collection of special interest today. Essays by twenty cultural critics and historians of art and labor, and eighteen artists' projects consider cloth and other forms of visual and material culture within the context of a broad range of artistic practices, labor histories, and social meanings. Throughout, contributors examine the quotidian aspects of cloth, expanding their inquiry to include the impact of shifting world economies and social dynamics embodied in works of art and labor.
